Biomarkers of Microbial Life Detected on Neptune Sized Water World



More indicators that life exists on other planets are welcome of course, but the huge takehome after the successful observation of even hundreds of planets, is that planetary surface life is really rare.  Our own planet looks to be a well selected and then terraformed object that was then operated and improved upon for its entire life of billions of years.


Obviously beyond our present tech when you understand that the Moon is a terrafoming tool.

However, there is a way.  Cloud cosmology allows for every planet to actually be a hollow shell, to say nothing about the sun itself.  Better yet such a planet has an internal star object producing particles as well and some heat.  thus the shell while internally hot thanks to heavy metal decay, remains cool on the outer surface allowing us thrive on both surfaces.  rather convenient for life, both inside and outside.

Way more important though is that every planet is technically prospective for life on the inside of their shell.  Near to home this certainly includes even Venus and certainly Mars and many of out moons around the outer Gas giants which will also be hollow.  once acepting this prospect, we have an unlimited supply of livable interior planetary shells.  who really thoughht as much?

Understand that Cloud cosmology is radically different from Newtonian Physics which depends on only the Pythagorian metric and lacks any understanding of actual particle creation.  In fact classical Physics is a mental roadblock.



Biomarkers of Microbial Life Detected on Neptune Sized Water World

NASA’s James Web found trace of dimythyl suflide (DMS) in th atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b and DMS is a biomarker of life. K2-18b’s atmosphere consists of mainly hydrogen, along with small amounts of methane and carbon dioxide. On Earth, the DMS molecule is only associated with microbial life.




We have to wait for the existence of DMS on K12-18b being confirmed, but researchers believe that the planet could be our best bet yet of discovering life outside of the solar system.



An international team of astronomers led by the University of Cambridge has used data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to discover methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of K2-18 b, an exoplanet in the Goldilocks zone. This is the first time that carbon-based molecules have been discovered in the atmosphere of an exoplanet in the habitable zone. The results are consistent with an ocean-covered surface underneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere.



The abundant CH4 (methane) and CO2 along with the non-detection of ammonia (NH3) are consistent with chemical predictions for an ocean under a temperate H2-rich atmosphere on K2-18 b. The spectrum also suggests potential signs of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), which has been predicted to be an observable biomarker in Hycean worlds, motivating considerations of possible biological activity on the planet.

The Webb telescope has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b, a potentially habitable world over 8 times bigger than Earth. Webb’s data suggests the planet might be covered in ocean, with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere: https://t.co/qN1SqCfFt1 pic.twitter.com/yoXF3flsUl
